Summertime is upon us, and when the sun comes out to play and the heat begins to rise, clubbers are crawling out from dark clubs and dancing right into the open air. There’s a clear change in mood and a lively shift in music, with the desire to hear fresh and funky tracks that perfectly accompany scorching temperatures. Hailing from Montreal, French-Canadian DJ Manū releases his first solo EP ‘Pool Group’, and it certainly fits the bill.
The two tracks ‘Pool Group’ and ‘Lobby Non Stop’ are just the right type of refreshing and vibrant sounds the crowds are looking for when the sun is at its peak, and even after it goes down. The leading track ‘Pool Group’ perfectly captures the essence of summer, with a mixture of deep grooves and disco influences that coast along with mischievous vocals entwined with nostalgic sounds from days at your local pool. It’s reminiscent of simple days spent lounging around in the sun with good company and splashing into cool waters when the moment’s right. ‘Pool Group’ is an enticing invitation to a seasonal soiree that can’t be missed. Even in the dead of winter, this track could have you seeing the electric blue hues and the glare of the sun bouncing off the water’s reflection, out of the corner of your eye.
The second track ‘Lobby Non Stop’ keeps the momentum flowing and brings life to those lazy, hazy summer days. Manū stays on theme with the sound of life going on around you in the form of childlike joy, and layers over it with sporadic vocal snippets and a cool, upbeat boogie that can’t help but conjure up a groove out of the listener. For the entirety of the track, there’s an effortless chill factor that accents the music and creates a fun, sexy vibe. ‘Lobby Non Stop’ is a track that will pique that dance floor’s interest and inspire them to enjoy themselves.
